Do I need to book tours in advance for this itinerary?

For the busiest sights, yes — a skip-the-line or timed-entry booking saves real time on a tight schedule. Check the real tour listings linked below for each stop.

What's the best way to get between these stops?

That depends on how spread out Veracruz's sights are — walking works for compact city centres, otherwise a hop-on hop-off bus or public transit day pass usually covers this itinerary's ground.
